Pat Cotham Challenges Your Beliefs on Homelessness in North Carolina
On this week’s “Tying It Together with Tim Boyum,” we're challenging your preconceptions about people experiencing homelessness by looking through the eyes of Mecklenburg County Commissioner Pat Cotham, who spends her own money and time, often in frigid temperatures late at night, helping the homeless in Charlotte. In a city that ranks near the very bottom in the country in terms of economic mobility, how does one climb out of poverty? We hear from someone hoping to do just that. Finally, a Charlotte native who says she may be forced to move because of the city’s violence joins the podcast to shed light on a topic often kept in the dark.
